So the guy on the bike got caught by a cop in a car. He must be new to riding in NYC and a little dim witted or have poor vision if he did not notice the cop watch him go through 4 red lights, so he does deserve the tickets. Unless the cop knew him and had a dislike I can not picture any cop getting out of the car to chase him down very far.

As someone that has to dodge asshat cyclists while I walk around near my home downtown in Seattle, I applaud this action and look forward to the day in the future when we have similar enforcement here.

Bicyclists are not required to follow any traffic laws whatsoever! They have the right to swerve across five lanes while going the wrong way on a one-way street and if they get hit by those mean car drivers, they get to sue the driver for everything they have.

I didn't realize how rare cyclists are in my neck of the woods, until one day when little voices from my car seats all piped up at once. "Mommy, Mommy, what's that?" "Mommy, look at those funny clothes." "Mommy, why are those guys riding those funny bikes with their butts in the air?" Before I could answer, my husband calmly replied, "They are practicing for their next game of 'kick my ass'."

jake_lex:xynix: I live in the burbs.. Not many cyclists out here and of those that are they're the tight clothes logo wearing kind. A special kind of douche..

I hate cyclists who just ride around town in those skin tight shorts. This isn't the farking Tour de France, asshole, I don't wanna see your package.

Then don't look. Sounds like you need to sort out you sexuality. You really need to look hard to see junk on a cyclist clad in black lycra-- who is seated on a bike. Might be a bit easier with light lycra in a victory pose, or on the podium--- but suburban riding?

notmtwain:If it gets him to stop at red lights and pay attention while he is cycling, it might be the best $1,155 he ever spends.

seriously. i bike everywhere, it is my only mode of transportation. the guy is a farking dick who is breaking most of the 'be aware of your surroundings and if you are on the road you must abide by its rules as you are considered to be operating a vehicle on the roads' rules. darwin will eventually win this battle if he thinks he can pull this shiat, making us all look bad, and get away with it for too long.

when i ride downtown i am a silversun pickups song, very carefully look over your shoulder.and stop at red lights, you are no longer a pedestrian.

fark this guy gives us sane bikers a shiat name.

that is way cheaper than the hospital bill for getting plinked at an intersection and ending up ICU for 8 days with massive trauma.

oukewldave:I don't know if he could look any more "hipster-y" than he does in the picture. Maybe some visible stickers on his bike?

Really? Having the earbuds in makes him look a little douchey, but he's not wearing anything ironic, doesn't have skinny jeans, his head/facial hair is unkempt but not intentionally ridiculous.. I'm not really seeing it.

Put me down as a daily bike commuter who follows laws, does not wear ear buds, only wears my race kit when I race or do a ride and I think this kid is a dipshiat who deserves the tickets. There are a lot of idiots out there. Some bike, some walk, some drive.

Bushwick artist Daniel Greer, 24, who admittedly went through three red lights while wearing headphones, said he did not at first realize he was being pulled over... .

Didn't realize he was being pulled over? Yea, maybe you need those tickets, son. If you blow through three reds and can't be bothered to pay enough attention to notice a policeman, you're clearly a menace.

Is flannel and a bike all it takes now?

20-something = hipster

You know who else wore red and black lumberjack (with a hat to match) and lived in Brooklyn?
